Struggling to sleep

Hello, is anyone else struggling to sleep at 36 weeks pregnant?

I either wake up to go to the loo or I have pins and needles in my hands which don't seem to go 😕😓

Formula

Hello, so I don't think I'm going to be able to breast feed. So I want some good formula that won't break my pockets and if anyone knows of any places that like help moms get discounts or free formula let me know please.

When is it weird?

I've seen a handful of posts talking about nudity in the house around young kids and I feel like it's agreed that it's normal for there to be a naked mom or to see mom naked, but my question is if it applies to dad? Is mom allowed to be naked (not in a creepy way obvi) but Dad has to be covered all the time? Is it okay if Dad is seen naked getting out of the shower/getting dressed?? Is it okay if he's boxers only in the house? And bath time, can they take a bath/shower with Dad while they're still little (like 6 or younger). Does it change if it's a son or daughter? If theres an age where it changes what is it?
**not including any weird or over sexualized behavior or motives because that's a separate topic and obviously those cases aren't ever okay**

Did ya catch em all?

Friendly reminder that no one is alone in this. You are not a bad mom. You are doing your best. You are loved. Your baby is safe. And above all you are not in this alone. Ask for help, and never feel ashamed ❤️

9 weeks today and has barely woken up at all :\

Little boy slept well for the first time ever last night, and today he’s barely been awake at all apart from feeds, and when he is up he’s crying and hard to settle.

Normal nappies, feeding well, no fever.

What do we think? Growth spurt? Unwell?

Co-sleeping help

Hi everyone. I really need some help. I’m a first time mum and I’ve admittedly made a huge mistake when it comes to my babies sleep routine.

My son’s been in his next to me crib since birth. He’s never been easy to put down and has never slept through the night but we’d get there eventually…both exhausted but successful.

Anyway, we went on holiday 4 weeks ago and the bed was so huge that we decided to put LO in the bed with us (following safe sleep guidelines). He slept through EVERY single night. It was a dream. Baby was happy, both parents felt so refreshed, happy and energised again. You can see where this is going…

We got home and continued to co - sleep expecting the same results. As our son grows he is becoming more mobile and wiggly so no one is sleeping well. We’ve tried to transition him back into his crib but he is inconsolable. I tried for 2 hours to settle him one night to the point where he was sick and I felt like the biggest failure of a mother in the world. I’m at a loss of what to do. We’ve tried so many times to transition him but nothing is working. My heart can’t bear to let him cry it out. The longest I can take is 5 minutes and it makes me feel physically ill.

Does anyone have any advice please?

Newborn sleep

Is it actually normal to be cosleeping with newborn as they dont want to be put down? Starting to struggle but every Google says its normal 4th trimester. Our baby hasn't been able to be put down in the moses basket or next to me crib at all without screaming the place down. Family keep saying they'll just have to get used to it. We're currently taking it in shifts to hold him through the night after feeds to sleep. Is this just the newborn trenches?
